This poem rises to the top of my saved treasures from time to time. You’ve seen it. It’s a good lesson. But, sometimes we ignore the simplicity and strength of the message. The author is “Anonymous.”

“If you think you’re beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you’d like to win, but think you can’t

It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you lose, you’re lost

(and it goes on from here with the last 2 lines being:)

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the one who thinks he can.”

It’s not a lot more difficult than that. Attitude. A healthy dose of knowing one’s Purpose/Why. They are the strongest magnets we can use. This is how we attract the life positive events we seek and they pull us into the future.

Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.
